I advise my patients that the final results of their fillers, once all the bruising and swelling has resolved) wont be apparent until 10 days to 2 weeks after injection. Give it some time. If you still don't like the results after 2 weeks, the product can be dissolved with some injected Vitrase.

This is most likely related to the increased volume and tissue turgor (stiffness) created by the NLF Perlane. This should soften in the next few days but as always it's best to ask the MD that did the Facial shaping/contouring with filler.

It is difficult to determine the outcome without seeing the final result from the Perlance enhancement of the upper lip. Most vertical lines around the lip is the result of a strong perioral mucscle. The neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin relax the muscle(s) that control the overly pursed appearance.
